For Owner-Operators

DOT Consortium for Owner-Operators

If you run under your own authority, the FMCSA requires you to join a consortium. We make it a 10-minute job — then handle the rest.

Yes — if you’re an owner-operator with a CDL and interstate authority, you must be enrolled in a drug & alcohol consortium. Because you can’t randomly select yourself, Excel Screen puts you in a compliant pool and manages selections, testing, and reporting. Enroll online for $89.99/yr with a same-day certificate.

Why it’s required

Why owner-operators need a consortium

DOT random testing is built around pools of drivers. A large carrier can run its own pool, but a solo owner-operator can’t randomly select themselves — that would defeat the purpose. Under FMCSA rule 49 CFR Part 382, owner-operators must join a consortium/third-party administrator (C/TPA) that maintains a compliant random testing program. Without it, you’re out of compliance and risk being placed out of service at a roadside inspection or flagged in an audit.
